Dynastie : Bach Concertos

Description

In 2 years, Jean Rondeau has brought the harpsichord from the antiques section into the spotlight.
Both through the success of his first 2 albums and his media presence - Winner at the Victoires de la Musique Classique in 2015 - Jean Rondeau is at 25 a major artist on the French scene. He dedicates his new album to the concertos of the Bach Family, featuring 80 musicians! from which he extracts the Father and 3 of his sons: Johann-Christian, Wilhelm Friedemann, and Carl Philipp Emanuel.
Jean Rondeau emphasizes this intensely creative period in Leipzig, where "the audience has nerve, passion, desire; it needs rhythm, emotion, novelty, a debauchery of contemporary music." It is this freedom and energy that Jean Rondeau finds today by surrounding himself with 6 young musicians of his age group. The result is exceptional in its lightness, liveliness, and enthusiasm. A great record!
